If you suffer vertigo do not look at this photo!!

lol nice photo 5*

A visitor from Colombia posted Mon April 14, 2008:
Nice picture. The sea looks so calm, and the color of the plane fits perfectly to the shot. The reflections of the sun are good too. And the angle gives a different feeling to the shot. Good job!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun January 13, 2008:
That perfectly smooth sea just makes you want to jump into it. great photo.. worth framing!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat October 13, 2007:

A visitor from Germany posted Sat October 7, 2006:

Amazing photo!

Wow, 5 Star Photo, Just Incredible, Meet my new Wallpaper,lol

A visitor from United States posted Fri October 6, 2006:
Incredible photo, the detail of the fuselage and the smooth waves of the ocean are mesmerizing. I didn’t even notice the shadow until I read the comments. Maybe the photographer should have asked the captains to change course or deleted the picture. Come on, enjoy a rare sight.

A visitor from Brazil posted Fri October 6, 2006:
Just perfect! The water, the angle, the situation, the airplane, the scale...
Deserved 5 stars.

A visitor from United States posted Fri October 6, 2006:
FRED stands for Freaking Ridiculous Economic disaster. The C-5 has to undergo 16 hrs of mx after 1 hour of flight, or so I hear. Awesome shot Rob, as usual from you.

A visitor from United States posted Fri October 6, 2006:
Excellent compostition and great shot definately 5 stars no questions asked. You are one of the better or best photographers on this site!

Stunning photo, probably the best refuelling shot I've seen.
-Leo P.

A visitor from United States posted Fri October 6, 2006:
Nice shot.. I wonder how many people are going to be asking who fred is?

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 5, 2006:
Nice shot...To bad there is a shadow from the boom, however.

A visitor from Germany posted Thu October 5, 2006:
Brilliant! Against the reflection of the sun, amazing color. Check out the sharpness and structure of both water and aircraft.

A visitor from Portugal posted Thu October 5, 2006:
